LB Coach Al Holcomb could follow McDermott to Buffalo

I realize COULD is an important word here but it stinks we are likely to lose Washington or Holcomb. Both are GREAT position coaches.  I'm sure Garafolo didn't just just a name out of the hat either, he's been told they are working on it.



MORE SMOKE TO THIS
 

Holcomb is a bigger loss than most will think.  Look at the LB he has developed  :  Kuechly, Davis (obviously not his whole career), Klein, Thompson, and now Mayo looks promising.

I mean, Holcomb coaches Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis - might be the easiest job in the league? LOL

Make fun all you want but don't you think he had something to do with helping develop them.  The answer, of course, is yes.  He is a hell of a coach.

I'm sure he's a good coach, I'm also sure Rivera can find another good coach to replace him.

Why are we worried about losing Holcomb? He was a QA guy or something the year before we hired him. Luke was entering his 2nd year here. Holcomb didn't develop anyone. I guarantee Luke and TD are more important to Klein, Shaq, and now Mayo's growth. Holcomb probably learned more than he taught.

Not saying he isn't a good coach but Luke and TD just need a guy to run them through drills and offer some outside perspective from time to time. Those guys coach that group.

If that was the case, I doubt McDermott would make him his DC in Buffalo.  While I agree, Luke and TD don't need much coaching, I'm sure he had a larger say in the defense as a whole than you'd think (especially in light of McDermott's decision)

    • Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.is what i am actually referring to in that particular post  all those #'s you are referring to are athletic #'s & Monroe Freeling had or has an impressive combination of size & raw athletiscm & it has nothing do with his size or athelticsm that is preventing him from being a day 1 starter in the NFL technique is where he struggled at the NFL combine & not only scouts but analysts alike also viewed him as more of a developmental type of player rather than a day 1 starter  go take a look at Will Campbell transition from the SEC to the NFL another first round LT that was drafted #4 overall by the New England Patriot,s.Will Campbell was a three year starter at  LSU & was thought to be one of if not the very best LT's in the SEC  & compare his SEC carrer to his rookie season in the NFL? just because you played good in the SEC at LT does nescarrily mean you are ready to start at LT in the NFL day 1 & or your rookie season  & one last thing i think you are jumping to conclusion & somehow assuming that i do not like Monroe Freeling ?which could not be further from the truth .what i do not like is the idea starting a player who is not ready ...just saying
